In the early morning of November 19, Beijing time, crude oil futures prices closed higher
on Thursday.
Earlier, the news that the Biden administration urged other countries to join in releasing strategic reserve crude oil sent crude oil futures prices down yesterday to their lowest value
in about 6 weeks.
According to people familiar with the matter, the Biden administration has asked Asian countries such as India and Japan to release strategic crude oil reserves to coordinate efforts to keep crude prices
down.
Carsten Fritsch, commodity analyst at Deutsche Bank, said: "A coordinated multinational approach will certainly have a greater impact
on the crude oil market than the United States releasing strategic crude oil reserves alone to suppress oil prices.
" But crude oil futures turned from falling to rising
on Thursday.
Phillip Streible, chief market strategist at Blue Line Futures, said: "Crude oil futures prices are expected to rise
gradually from now on.
Tight crude inventories and growing demand will benefit
oil prices.
